Chapter 1023 Carve a FlowerJulien replied gently, "I have arrived downstairs and will be with you momentarily."Hearing that, Sydney smiled. "That's great. The last dish will be ready soon. I was afraid that the dishes wouldn't be tasty if they were cold. Please come home quickly to have dinner.""OK." Julien nodded slightly.After Julien finished the phone call, he put down his phone and uncrossed his legs.It seemed that he was going to get out of the car finally.As expected, in the next second, after he put away his phone, he opened the car door, bent and got out of the car.Zach rolled down the window next to the driver's seat and shouted to Julien, who was walking towards the elevator. "Mr. Flint."Julien stopped and frowned. He felt disgruntled that Zach stopped him from going home.Julien compressed his lips and said in an impatient voice, "What's up?"Zach's lips twitched.'Is Mr. Flint blaming me for detaining him to go home?'Zach rolled his eyes secretly.'Aft
Chapter 1024 Be Close to Death"Really?" Sydney fixed her eyes on Julien.Julien nodded. "Absolutely. If you don't believe it, leave it to me."Sydney didn't say anything and handed the carving knife to Julien.Julien took the carving knife from her hand, stepped forward and stood in her previous position. Then he picked up the pumpkin, which was like mud after being carved by her. He examined it up and down to think where to start to remedy it.Sydney didn't know his thoughts. Seeing that he held the carving knife and the pumpkin motionlessly, she thought that he had finally found it not as simple as he had said. When she was about to laugh at him for bragging, he acted suddenly.Julien held the carving knife with his slender fingers and started to carve the pumpkin quickly. He wasn't like a novice but a skilled carver.Sydney opened her red lips in surprise. "You look skilled. When did you learn to carve? Did you learn it when you learned cooking?"After all, ingredients carv
Chapter 1025 Teaching Sydney Hand by Hand"Well, it's getting late, so you'd better finish carving the orchid so that we can eat. Otherwise, the food will get cold later," Sydney said while adjusting her hair which was rumpled up by Julien. Now Julien knew why she came out of his arms. He had thought she was tired of his embrace."Well, I'll be quick," Julien nodded his head slightly and turned around. Then he picked up the pumpkin and carving knife he had just put down to continue to carve. Sydney stood back to his side and looked at him carving, "I didn't expect that you would learn how to carve a Buddha out of gem, and now I find you even can carve orchids out of pumpkins." Julien smiled, "The Buddha I wanted to make was big and had many details, so my teacher didn't approve of me carving the Buddha directly. Although I had money and didn't care about wasting jade, my teacher cared, so he let me start with some simple small objects with scraps of jade. Orchid was one of my
Chapter 1026 She Even Was Proud of Herself"I’m sure! I’m certainly sure!" Sydney nodded very seriously, showing that she had really learned and didn't need him anymore. Watching her confident face, Julien shook his head with a smile, "OK, then do it. I'll just wait and see your work." He would like to see if she really didn't need him. "Don't worry, I won't let you down," Sydney smiled at him, then turned her head back, and began to carve. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Julien patted her head and leaned against the wall with his arms folded. Sydney turned around and stared at him, "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just patting an ungrateful person," Julien shrugged. Sydney glared at him, "Ungrateful? I’m not ungrateful!" "You are," Julien spread his hands, "I just taught you, and now you ignore me. Aren't you ungrateful? You are not only ungrateful but also heartless." "You..." Sydney was speechless because what Julien said seemed to have some truth. She did ignor
Chapter 1027 Do I Matter or NotShe put some vegetables on his plate. Julien's heart melted into a puddle.At first, he guessed that she had suddenly made so many dishes to celebrate something.For example, it was worth celebrating that they got the parts back.And he had intended to suggest opening a bottle of wine.Then she told him that the feast had been prepared just to make up for him.In her view, he had left his job to accompany her and delayed his work. She felt regretful about it and cooked so many dishes to treat him.This feast was prepared just for him.How could he not be touched? To express his gratitude, he itched to carry the woman back to the room for a passionate kiss.But they hadn't eaten yet, so he could only shelve that thought.Eating came first, and health mattered."I don't need to try it to know it's delicious." Julien chuckled, looking across the table at her.Sydney rolled her eyes. "Sweet talker.""Although I didn't taste it, I just know. I
Chapter 1028 The Past Unknown to Him"If it's so important, then why are you keeping me in the dark? Would you rather turn to a stranger for help than to me? Or do you think I'm a man who can't be trusted?" Julien had no clue what was going on in Sydney's mind. He only wanted to clear things up with her.Seeing that he doubted his importance in her heart again, Sydney shook her head. "No, it's not like that. The reason I didn't tell you and didn't come to you is that I don't want to depend on you for everything. I told you this before, and you agreed. I was honest with you. I'm afraid that if I ask for your help every time something happens, I'll lose my ability to handle things on my own. I'll become someone who can't stand on her own feet, who only thinks of you when she's in trouble. I don't want to be like that. And...""And?" Julien tightened his lips.She indeed had told him that before.He had been supportive.But how could he expect that she would take it to such an extre
Chapter 1029 They Just Intend to Deflate and Hurt YouSydney looked up at Julien squarely and calmly. "Those people bully the weak and fear the strong. I was too weak, and no one could help me. I'm not from a powerful family, my parents are deceased, and my husband didn’t care about me. So, they bullied me. After I understood all the reasons, I swore I must become powerful and make myself strong. Only in this way will nobody dare to harm me. Moreover, I can’t count on others to become strong because no one is dependable except myself."No one is dependable except myself...Hearing these words, Julien felt somewhat dejected.He clenched his fists and asked in a hoarse voice, "Am I also not dependable?"Sydney looked away to avoid seeing his hurt expression. "Yes. Everyone can betray each other, even relatives, not to mention us. “As I just said, if I turn to you every time something goes wrong, I might not be able to handle problems independently after a long time. What should I
Chapter 1030 I Didn't Turn to OthersAt his words, Sydney kept silent for a while. "Perhaps I get into a dead end. I heard too many such words in the past. Though I seldom hear them now, they’ve traumatized me, and I can't help agonizing over them.""Don't think about them anymore." Julien caressed her hair lightly.Sydney nodded. "I won't. You've analyzed why those people said those words. If I still take their words to heart, I’ll really die in the dead end.""Don't say anything related to ‘die’." Julien frowned and covered her lips with displeasure.Sydney pushed his hand away with a laugh. "Why are you so serious? Didn't I just say ‘die’? Look at your serious face. You seem as if I said something so terrible that the world was going to end."“‘Die’ is an unlucky word," Julien said in an annoyed voice. "It’s unlucky. I hope both of us are safe and sound."Julien was truly shocked by that cliff fall because he almost lost her that time.He didn't want her to experience anythi
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
